  • Patent number: 9896466
    Abstract: The subject of the invention are new mitochondrially targeted E/Z isomers of aliphatic triphenylphosphonium derivatives of tamoxifen where the aliphatic chain is alkyl or alkenyl, and their corresponding tertiary amine salts and/or their mixture (MitoTAX). Alkyl triphenylphosphonium derivatives of tamoxifen have the general formula (I), where n=8 to 12 and where Z is selected from the group of organic salts or inorganic salts. Alkenyl triphenylphosphonium derivatives of tamoxifen have the general formula IA, where n=6 to 10 and where Z has the above mentioned meaning. These compounds are applicable for the treatment of neoplastic disease, especially those with high HER2 protein levels. The drug for the treatment of neoplastic diseases according to the invention contains at least one E/Z isomer of aliphatic triphenylphosphonium derivatives of tamoxifen of the general formula (I) and/or IA or their corresponding salts of tertiary amine.

  • Patent number: 8853401
    Abstract: The present application describes processes for the synthesis of morphinane and morphinone compounds, useful as pharmaceutical agents. Also included are novel intermediates useful in the preparation of these compounds. The process comprises quaternization of oripavine to provide a mixture of the R- and S-isomeric (at the nitrogen) quaternary salts. The R-isomer is readily isolated and converted to various N-(R)-morphinane and N-(S)-morphinone compounds. The R-isomer, S-isomer or a mixture of R- and S-isomers may be demethylated and converted to various morphinane and morphinone compounds.
